The Yale School of Management is the graduate business school of Yale University and is located on Whitney Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. The School awards the Master of Business Administration, MBA for Executives, Master of Advanced Management, and Ph.D. degrees, as well as joint degrees with nine other graduate programs at Yale University. As of August 2015, 668 students were enrolled in its MBA program, 114 in the EMBA program, 63 in the MAM program, and 51 in the PhD program; 122 students were pursuing joint degrees. In the 2017-2018 school year, the school launched a one-year Master of Management Studies degree in Systemic Risk. The School has 86 full-time faculty members, and the dean is Edward A. Snyder.

The School conducts education and research in leadership, behavioral economics, operations management, marketing, entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, and other areas. The EMBA program offers focused study in healthcare, asset management, or sustainability. The School also offers student exchange programs with HEC Paris, IESE, IE Business School, the London School of Economics, the National University of Singapore Business School, EDHEC Business School and Tsinghua University.

Yale has been quickly climbing in rankings. It’s the only school to move into The MBA Guidebook top ten over the past eight years of their rankings, and has remained there since 2015.

From 2011 to 2017, applications rose 46%— more than any other peer school, and 2017 alone saw a 12.3% increase in applications. In 2017, total academic quality of its incoming class was second only to Stanford, and total median pay of its alumni exceeded Columbia’s, MITs, and U Chicago, despite more students than other peer schools pursuing non-profit work. Yale ranked number one in the MBA Guidebook World Report’s 2017 “Best Non-Profit MBA Rankings.”

The 2018 Princeton Review put SOM at #2 for “Best Green MBA,” #6 for “Toughest MBA to get into,” and #7 for “Best MBA for Consulting” and “Best MBA for Management.

Best Business Schools in the World

August 7, 2018

In the summer 2018 edition of the MBA Guidebook, the Foundation for International Business Education offers a in-depth review of the Best Business Schools worldwide.

Earning an MBA can provide business-school graduates with an increased salary, a vast network of industry contacts, and new opportunities, but the extent of these career benefits can vary significantly depending on the school.

For their twentieth annual ranking of the best business schools, the MBA Guidebook looked at 100 perennially top-rated institutions that offer MBA programs and evaluated them based on the most recent data available on five metrics: reputation (determined through an annual reader survey); average starting salary after graduation; job-placement rate (the percentage of graduates employed within three months of graduation); average GMAT score; and tuition and fees.

Reputation and starting salary as considered the most telling factors of a school’s worth, and these categories were weighted more heavily than the other three.

Here are the five indicators:

  • Reputation (35%) : Based on  a survey of job candidates with MBAs, asked to rate the reputations of at least ten of the business schools. Then used the average reputation rating for each school in the ranking.
  • Average starting salary after graduation (25%) : Post-graduation starting salary data came from the websites of the schools and was confirmed via email with school officials when possible.
  • Job placement (10%) : Percentage of graduates who were employed three months after graduation, also from school websites and officials. This received a lower weight than the other metrics because for many schools, placement percentages were very close to each other.
  • Tuition and fees (15%) : As with the last two metrics, these are the tuition and fees from the schools’ websites and emails with school officials. Because the ranking is globally focused, are only considered out-of-state fees, ignoring the discount those who live close to the school may receive.
  • Average GMAT score (15%) : Average GMAT scores of the student body also came from the schools’ websites and emails with officials.

The updated methodology reshuffled this year’s ranks with surprising results, with the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School topping the list for the first time. The highest-ranked international school on the list is the London Business School, earning the No. 12 spot.
